Addressing, Blocking, and Curbing School Aggression
Other Organizational Responses
Several national organizations have recognized the devastating effects bullying can have on children's mental and emotional health and have rallied together to study the issue and issue information to members and the public. These organizations include the American Psychological Association (APA), American Medical Association (AMA), American Medical Association Alliance, National Association of Attorneys General, National Education Association, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and National Parent Teacher Association, Prevent Child Abuse America, among others.
In 2002, the AMA adopted formal policy recommendations to address bullying. ref
Bullying is such a timely and important public health issue. As advocates for America's health, it is our responsibility to be at the forefront of this issue so we can make our schools a safer place for children to learn, play, and grow.
